Help to kick off Middlesbrough business ideas

THE RBS Kick Off In Business Campaign 2013 arrives in Middlesbrough tomorrow.

THE RBS Kick Off In Business Campaign 2013 arrives in Middlesbrough tomorrow.

Since launching in April 2012, the initiative has helped nearly 1,000 people start up in business all over the UK.

Working closely with both Premier and Football League clubs across the UK, the initiatives provides free, qualified advice to help anyone over 16 to develop the knowledge to set up in business on their own.

The campaign will be at Middlesbrough’s Riverside Stadium tomorrow and Wednesday from 9.30am-3.30pm each day.

Ken Horn, who created the campaign, said: “Our campaign provides people with the information they need to know in order to launch but protects them from the information they don’t.

“Cost constraints unfortunately limit the amount of qualified and accredited field based business support available.

“The KOIB campaign is filling this gap with a series of regular and engaging field-based events up and down the country.

“As a training provider in their own right, the Football League Trust have been instrumental in the campaign expansion.”

The campaign has also attracted interest from other commercial partners including Royal Bank of Scotland which have supported the initiative from an early stage.

The free, two-day event covers topics including business skills, finance, bookkeeping and taxation and business planning.
